Better Fail Than Not Try.

Failure rs the next best thing 70 success,
1t may even be better thing than success.
To say that one has failed, is to say that he
has strlven; and to say that he has striven,
is to say that he has acquired strength in
the striving. A boy who was tainted by
his neighbor in the class for failing in
protracted attempt to answer hard ques-
tIon replied: We'll l would rather try
and fail, than do as you dld-sit still and do
nothing" A child's perceptions OF truth
and a philosophers conceptions OF truth
often come very near together; and what
that boy felt George Eliot expresses:
Failure after long perseverance is much
grander than never to have striving good
enough to be called a failure" And the
lesson of that boys failure was better
teaching than any direct teaching from the
text of the lesson itself. 1t is the part of
teachers wisdom to turn to good account
the lessons of ignorance and failure, as
well as Of knowledge and success.-S. 5.

In Boston the other day a burly
Hibernian was at work on roof remov-
ing ice from gutter. His position was a
dangerous one, but this did not seem to
give him 50 much uneasiness as did the
temerity of pedestrians who persisted in
passing below close to the building. The
warnings of the men who were guarding
the dangerous section of sidewalk were
repeatedly disregarded, and the Irishman,
at length becoming thoroughly exasper-
ated at this continued display Of foolhardi-
ness, shouted from his lofty perch: ''If

A skull OF WCodchuck was recently
found in Pike County, Ind, that told tale
of suffering when the animal was alive.
The right upper incisor grew little to
one side, and so did not meet its fellow Of
the lower jaw. 1t continued to grow down,
however, until, striking the bone Of the
lower jaw, it was DETECTED upward and
backward to the roof of the mouth, max
ing a complete circle an inch in diameter.
The advancing point pressed against the
point of the skull, which was absorbed be-
fore it by the pressure until the point
grew clear through the jaw and reap
peared again in the mouth, starting upon
its second spiral.
